3. The First Step

Debuting, the one thing we were preparing for. Or in our case getting everything ready ourselves. Our company was allowing us to have complete creative control. It was one thing that I wasn't expecting. But I kinda like it this way. It just meant that everything that we'd be doing organic. Of course, Aree, Azumi and I were struggling. "How about when it gets to the dance break we do a series of body pops and hit all the beats. Then potentially a jump spin and land on the ground?" Aree asked and I was trying to picture it in my mind.

"We could do the popping along to the gun shots, and where they're all after the other, we could do a domino effect." I said to them and I saw Azumi nodded.

"Then as a collective we could all finish off the dance break together." Azumi said to us and I was nodding at her.

"But how would we do the order?" I asked them all and that was one thing that we needed to think of.

"We could do youngest to oldest. That way we can all do our own charms which will make it better." Aree said to us and I liked the sound of this. I looked around the room. It was crazy to think that we only had the dance break music and nothing else. We were doing the hardest thing first. Especially since it's a whole 30 seconds as well. Of just back breaking movements. In times like this you had to prove yourselves if you wanted to get anywhere.

"Remember this is only the first step of all of this. We don't know what they're creating for the rest of the song yet. I say, we keep this for now. Clean it up a bit and send a demo of the dance break to Geuroo and Dalrae to look over. They can get the vibe of the dance break and put that towards the rest of the song to keep it in mind." I said to them all. We'd been working on this for a few weeks now. The whole music wise that is. But we've still been waiting for the lyrics to come in from the the vocal and rap unit. For now we were doing our part.

"I agree with that idea. Then they know what we're aiming for and they won't try and mess that around so we don't have to change everything last minute." Azumi said to me and for people that had only known each other for a month and a bit. We were already close, I guess that what survival show trauma does to you. It makes you close as you've all had to fight against each other.

"Then guys let's get ready to think about the rest of the dance break. We're only ten seconds in and we've barely got anywhere." Aree said to me and we started thinking about different things we could do. Of course, this was our struggle. Trying to make some with six people missing doesn't always work. After an hour there was a knock on the door.

"I thought you could all do with a coffee break." Said the voice at the door. I looked and saw Nemy.

"Perfect timing, I could really do with one." I said as I walked over to her and she got mine out for me.

"And it's an iced americano your favorite." She said to me with a smile as she passed it to me.

"I would hug you but I'm all sweaty. Thank you so much." I said to her before I drank some and it was perfect.

"Lovebirds, we are both here as well." Azumi said while waving at us both. Nemy and I looked at each other and shook our heads before heading over to them both. I couldn't wait tell Nemy all about this.

"So how has it been going in here?" She asked us and we all looked at each other before looking at her.

"We've got the dance break down, we just need to send it to Geuroo and Dalrae so that they can make sure that the rest of the song is fitting for what we've got." Aree said to her as we all sat together on the floor. I was thankful that we had working AC otherwise we'd be screwed. I saw Nemy look at all of us.

"Now as much as I'm giving you all a break, I would love to see it. Maybe I can be the one to film it." Nemy said to us and we all smiled at each other.
